I noticed another wierd behaviour in cron after the update to U7.
The cron daemon refused to start some cron jobs with 'Bad File Mode':
Mar 16 04:33:29 xyz crond[25798]: (*system*) BAD FILE MODE
(/etc/cron.d/domino_cleanup.d)
But the permissions on /etc/cron.d/domino_cleanup.d are alright:
# ls -la /etc/cron.d/domino_cleanup.d
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 130 16. M?r 14:49
/etc/cron.d/domino_cleanup.d
and
# service crond restart
fixed the problem and cron runs fine again.
Thx
Rainer
